Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed July 24, 1908. Serial No. 445,212.

Patented Sept. 8, 1914.

To all, whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHITR E: TrL IsoN,

Belton, in the county of Flathead and State of Montana, have invented new and useful Improvements in PWrenches, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a wrench structure and has for its object to provide a device of this character which is'particularly simple in construction, efiicient in practice and one which can be manufactured and sold at a'comparatively low cost. The other elements shown in connection with the wrench are for illustrative purposesonly and form no part of the resent invention.

With the above and other objects in View the invention consists in the combination and in the arrangement of parts to be herev nels 3 inafter more fully described and claimed.

These and other objects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved tool, Fig. 2 is an edge elevationof the same, Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view, and Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view taken through the handle.

Referring to the drawing for a more particular description of the-invention, numeral 1 designates the tool and 2 the handle The handle 2 of the wrench comprises intermediate body members 2* and side members'2", the latter being secured to the former by screws 2 Rising vertically from the intermediate body members is a pair of spaced parallel guide rods 3 and 4:, upon the upper ends of which is mounted the stationary jaw 5 of the wrench. The movable jaw of the wrench is designated slidably mounted on the guide rods 3 and 4, the rearward movement of the movable jaw being limited by the forward end of the handle 2..

A feed screw 6 is interposed between the guide rods 3 and 4, and has its upper end journaled in the stationary jaw, the said feed screw being also extended through the movable jaw and threadedly engaging the same and adapted when operated to eifectuate adjustments of the movable jaw.

The intermediate body members of the handle are provided with alining guide chanfor receiving the lower end of the feed screw 6, thelower terminal of the feed screw extending beyond the lower terminals of the belng intercepted by the numeral 8, and

intermediate guide members 2 and side g members 2 and provided with a manipua citizen of the United States, resldmg at lating member 7. A bearing disk 3 is fixed to the lower end of the feed screw and is rotatably held in a socket 18 formed in the respective body members 2*, the said socket by the said channels 3*. The sidemembers 2 of the handle are recessed at 19 in the inner faces at the point of the socket .18, and into which projects the periphery of the bearing disk located in the socket. I

The jaw 5 has formed in the top thereof a V-shaped jaw 9 which constitutes an alligator wrench adapted for use on pipes and the like. Formed adjacent the bottom'edge of the jaw 5 are a plurality of teeth 10. The top portion 11, of the jaw 8 "and the serrated edge 10, serves also as a pipewrench. The space 12 between the portion 13 of the jaw- 5 and the portion 14 of the aw 8, serves as a'wrench for square nuts and also as a vise. The jaw 8 is so constructed to provide a hatchet 15, a hammer l6, and a nail extractor 17 formed integral with the head. The jaw 5 constitutes a head and forms a weight and serves to connect the outer ends of the guide rods 3 and 4 and to form a beariiig for the outer end of the threaded shank 6. The jaw 8 pro vides a hatchet which may be used in the ordinary mannerof a hatchet blade. By turning the operating member 7 the hatchet blade 8 is moved upon the guide rods 3 and 4 towar and from the head 5 and the handle 2, thereby varying the effective leverage and weight.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new, is

A wrench comprising a handle having a pair of fixed arallel guide rods extending therefrom, a fi xed jaw secured to the outer ends of said rods, a screw coextensive with said guide rods and interposed between and having its outer end mountedto freely revolve in said fixed jaw, the movable jaw slidable on said guide rods and having a threaded passage receiving said screw, the guide rods serving to hold the sliding jaw against rotation on said screw and to maintain coacting position of said sliding jaw relatively of said fixed jaw, a member revolvably mounted at one end of the handle fixed tothe inner end of said screw, the forward end of said handle forming a stop to hold the sliding jaw against movement on to said handle, the handle comprising inintermediate and side members and free to termediate body members formed on the revolve therein. 10

ends of said rods, and having a passage In testimony whereof I afiix my signature therethrough for the inner end of said screw in presence of tWo Witnesses.

5 side members detachably connected with ARTHUR E. TILLISON.

said body members and a disk mounted in Witnesses: the handle and fixed on the screw and hav- THOS. D. Lone, mg portions respectively extending into the PHILIP R. Lone.
